Think of it as a sort of wireless NAS for your mobile devices. The Seagate GoFlex Satellite lets you take your content with you anywhere and pull it up on your iPad, iPhone, Android device or just about any gadget with a web browser and Wi-Fi connection, in seconds. You can stream or download movies and music over Wi-Fi, grab a document or PowerPoint presentation to show a client or pull up pictures of your recent trip to (insert locale, mundane or exotic) to show off.
